A Good Day

Today my parents checked me out of school at one and drove me to lunch at Ganesh.(An awesome Indian resteraunt!)Then we drove up into far Salt Lake for some heavenly Hatch Family chocolate! Then, not so fun, to Primary Children's for a spinal appointment. Yay. Thanks Mom and Dad for making it so much easier! love you guys!






 

Jen Carr's Super-Duper-Easy-Peasy Peanut Butter Bars

Peanut Butter Bars
1 1/2 cubes of butter (softened) 
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup flour 
1 1/2 cup oats
1 1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream the butter, eggs, brown sugar and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and press into a regular sized cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes ( ours took something closer to 20-25)  or until light brown and slightly puffy. Cool and frost!

Chocolate Frosting
1 stick butter (melted)
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla 
Mix butter and cocoa powder. Alternately add in powdered sugar and milk until spreading consistency. Mix in vanilla and add more milk if necessary. Makes up about 2 cups frosting

Hope you enjoy! P.S- we had enough frosting without doubling the recipe!
